Dosimetric comparison of TG‐43 formalism and HU‐based AcurosBV algorithms in HDR brachytherapy for head‐and‐neck superficial lesions with H.A.M. applicators

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Background TG‐43 formalism assumes homogeneous water media, potentially overlooking anatomical heterogeneities that affect dose accuracy. AcurosBV, a model‐based dose calculation algorithm, accounts for tissue and material heterogeneities. This study evaluates their dosimetric differences in high‐dose‐rate (HDR) brachytherapy using Harrison ...

Incidence and prognostic implications of PSA relapse after radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer: a population‐based study

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue 4, Page 629-638, April 2026.
Objective To estimate risk of prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) relapse after radical radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PCa), and risk of PCa death after relapse according to Gleason score and time to relapse. Patients and Methods Men in the National Prostate Cancer Register of Sweden who underwent primary radical RT in 2007–2024 were followed until

Numerical Investigation of a Dual‐Mode Shape Memory Alloy Stent Enabling Secondary Expansion via Focused Ultrasound: A Potential Strategy for Correcting In‐Stent Restenosis

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.
This study demonstrates a novel noninvasive strategy to treat in‐stent restenosis using focused ultrasound. A shape memory alloy stent initially expands at body temperature. If restenosis occurs, targeted ultrasound heating thermally actuates the stent, enabling a secondary expansion to reopen the blocked vessel, offering a potential alternative to ...

Integrated genomic and proteomic profiling reveals insights into chemoradiation resistance in cervical cancer

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 709-726, March 2026.
A comprehensive genomic and proteomic analysis of cervical cancer revealed STK11 and STX3 as a potential biomarkers of chemoradiation resistance. Our study demonstrated EGFR as a therapeutic target, paving the way for precision strategies to overcome treatment failure and the DNA repair pathway as a critical mechanism of resistance.
